Swampy 147 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 OK so my Blue finally got the better of me and made me take her out with the gun. Awesome w/e of sunshine so I fancied a bit of sitting in the sun with a cold tinny or three of cider. Hunkered down in my favorite spot, a ditch behind a dry stone wall in view of three warrens. 20mins later and my girl spots two. A bit far off for my liking but me being the soft touch gave her first shot. So she's lying prone with MY T10. I've guestimated at aiming bang on the hairs as I've set the sights high on my gun (don't ask why, I like a bit of air). Gave her the nod to aim for the head. So she squeezes a shot off. Coney disapears after a somewhat solid strike of pellets a gainst dry mud. Argument ensues as to whether she hit it. So reluctantly giving up my comfy position in the ditch, my cold cider and recently rolled ciggy I traipse 46 long steps to whereit was last seen. Bugger me if it wasn't lying in its hole, grass still clamped in its teeth. A head shoy just above the eye. I'm really chuffedd for her and a bit jealous. It was a blinder of a shot. She even skinned it under my watchful eye. Can't say I'm impressed with her choice of hunting attire but hey she is a victim of fashion aqfter all. Her older brother was somewhat miffed too. So nnow I'm going to have to choose who's going to be my second gun on forays out now. Gotta be careful its going to cause arguments! Rgds Swampy A proud ning for my girl Quote Link to post

They're my bloody shades too! They're definately NOT my line in shorts tho' before any of you smart asses start having a pop. Personally I think it could be the way forward for the young 'uns. Crocs, Hot pants and dude shades.If it gets 'em out there, why not? Thanks for the comments changing my wardrobe for next session ning Quote Link to post
